Raining Dollars For Jimmy G

QB Jimmy Garoppolo is the luckiest player in the NFL. He spent his first four years behind Tom Brady. He learned so much from Bill Belichick and Josh McDaniels.

The Pats were not about to resign him as he was facing free agency so they traded him to the 49er's for a second round draft pick. He played very well for them, especially down the stretch.

The 49er's were determined to keep him. They signed him to a 5 year/ $137.5 million contract today. Not bad for a quarterback who has only seven NFL starts.

Quarterbacks around the league were glad to hear this because it only drives their value higher. It will also further emphasize the pay disparity between positions.
